In the drawing, A is a casting, having slots at a, through which bolts pass for attaching it to the frame of the mill, and having a mortise for receivingthe bar b, which is clamped in the mortise by the screw 0. B is a forked lever, that is pivoted to the bar I), and the long end of which is moved by the adjusting-screw d that is journaled in the casting A, and is capable of moving the lever B in either direction and retaining it in any desired position. Bosses are formed inside of the ends of the forks of the lever B, and the forks are bored centrally through these bosses, and tapped to receive wooden plugs, that bear against the saw.
